Our corners worry me. But then again, they don't have Hopkins.
I was very impressed with Denver's defense and they'll have to duplicate that (touch chore) for Denver to win.
Manning had a few nice long passes where he just over threw receivers... which would have changed the outcome.
Question for Pasta ... you say that Denver got a 'fluke' pick 6, is that not the same for Baltimore?
And, the INT in the endzone... that's the guy's job, no? Had he done that with 10 minutes left in the 1st quarter... would it have been less flukish? [Reply]

By all means, you are welcome to rub our noses in it Thursday should your team come out the victor.
Enh, there's no fun in that ... you guys always do 10X better than I could. TEX will just say I'm baiting and waiting... but, honestly, when is the last time I trolled this place with a bunch of noise after a Denver win over KC?
Denver's defense has had issues with stopping big RBs and TEs in the past, maybe that's changed and if so, bodes well for them on Thursday. The offense ... just wildly out of synch.
I certainly don't think Manning is an issue. Is he what he was in 2012 or 2014... maybe not, but he's still better than most.
Many want to discount how good the Baltimore defense is and that's fine... If Denver had connected on a few of those longer passes for TDs, I'd feel much better. They can fix that... but on a short week on the road? I dunno, I see a whole lot of ugly in an old school slugfest. [Reply]

Nobody beats up on us like ourselves.
And yes, I am one of the few that realize that Baltimore's run defense is badass, and that the Chiefs has been pedestrian.
If Denver wins, it won't be because of Manning, it will be CJ and the defense. [Reply]

CJ was dinged up after the game, Hillman looked ok, but I don't trust him. I don't see a whole lot of production from the RBs happening on Thursday. [Reply]

I disagree. I see a lot of RB production. Last time we played KC, we had 214 rushing yards vs 174 passing yards. When I watched the KC-HOU game, I didn't really see anything that indicated that their run defense had improved a lot. [Reply]

I'm not as sold on this OLINE providing much of anything just yet... and I absolutely have no faith or confidence in Hillman, should he get any carries. I'm not going to compare production from the last game. [Reply]

Your OL is much worse than last year and we have DJ back.
While our run D didn't show a ton of improvement, we have Poe, DeVito, DJ and Berry all back. It won't be top 5 run D but it won't be bottom 5. Plus your oline isn't going to maul us to death and create giant holes. Denver will run on us. We better be ready. [Reply]
